FAERY-LTKE SCENE

At The Bazaar ab DW1Snt F10ce Church A Goodly sum Realized
 Toward the Church Extension Fund
 One of the prettiest and most attractive of bazaars was that at the Dwight Place church, which closed last night. The ladies of the church, with their well known zeal and ability in all good works, made the bazaar an enchanting place. Quite fairy-like scene was presented. There were realistic looking erottoes and lakes and skating ponds, tobog- gan slides and Japanese scenes, and very pretty cottage scene of some size with two apartments. in one of which was beautiful sleeping child, in the other another little fairy who had just awoke and was on tiptoe peeping to see what Santa had put in her stockings, while on the roof at the chimney was old Santa Claus himself at tending zealously to business and hay ing just rewarded the little fairies below handsomely. All this pretty picture was to be seen at the dolls sale upstairs, where furthermore were 8 'tThomas concert" in full blast, bright ittle wedding scene in costume and dancing figures moved by ma chinery, all looking as if having the jolliest kind of time. This department was entire ly arranged by Mir. and Mrs. Griggs, and they seemed to possess an Aladdin's lamp, judging from the success and beauty of the scene which they created. The Japanese de- partment of MT. John D. Bradley was @ big success and delighted all, young folks espe- cially. Then down stairs was another fairy scene. In the center of the big room was a lovely bower over soda fountain looking as white, feeey, pure and beautiful as an Arctic snow temple, while in it presided Miss Cora Wetmore, Miss Mamie Bradley, Miss Mary Hinman, and myi how the soda water did sell Then on one side was the ''old-fash- toned New England kitchen" rag -carpeted Aor1 vAnaTahla PI0nk and a dozen devices suggestive of the com fortable farm house, with roaring wood fire and supplied with enough Thanksgiving sup per timber to tempt the veriest anchorite, and the ladies presiding were Mrs. Charles Bradley, Mrs. Bronson, Mrs.. Ellzur Sperry. Then there was the confectionery wing of the bazaar, and very tempting and satisfying wing it was. Here were ethereal bon bons and perfect elysium of tempting sweets fit for Psyche and appre- ciated by the most ordinary mortals. They were "home made" and the production of Miss Lincoln and Miss Lamb, who seem to possess magic wand in their temporary role as amateur makers of bon bons. There was another center of attraction. This was "the corner grocery" not the one which Pecks bad boy frequented, nor Bascom's, but Mir. and Mrs. Dobbins', and here at their country store was everything to tempt the diligent housekeeper and the devoted shopper, from
  8 pyramid of which was to be seen, to prints and muslins. The presiding genius, MT. Dobbin (Mr. Shearman of Yale, nephew of T. G. Shearman of Plymouth church, Brook lyn,) was gotten up in Brother Jonathan style, his fair partner, Miss Gray, to match, and there seemsd:to be fascination about the grocery which caused driving trade there. On this floor were sold numerous copies of an admir- able photo of the beloved and efficient pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. Twitchell, taken by F. A. Bowman and his gift toward the suc- cess of the fair. They sold readily at half a dollar each. At the cake and ice cream end of the bazaar Mrs. Mcdonald and Mrs. Hall presided-a busy place. The bazaar was given under the auspices of the Ladies Home Mission society, Mrs. E. L. Austin president, in connection with the Fairbank mission, Miss Fannie Sperry president, and from the crowds in attendance no doubt handsome sum was realized, which goes toward the $500 which the Home Mission society has pledged to raise toward the fund for the en- largement and extension of the church edifce, which will probably be accomplished next
